LOCAL ROBBERY
BELIEVED SOLVED
Shooting Of Orien Day, age 57, at
Delphi By Officers Late Sun-day
Night.
SOME OF LOCAL GOODS IDENT-IFIED
AT LOGANSPORT HOME
Sam Love, Local Young Man Also
Involved in Affair— Booze Cause
tf Arrest.
The robbery of the Curren Groc-ery
and the State Highway ea,
some teva wee. ago, was believ& I- Ci
have been solved the first of the week
following the shooting of Orion
Day of Logansport, at Delphi late
Sunday while trying to escape
from the officers.
Day is supposed to have been the
companion of Sam Love, a local young
man who has spent the past several
years in traveling from place to place,
when the couple were stopped by Ko-komo
police for investigation last Fri-day.
It is said the couple had been
drinking and were attracting much
attention to themselves as they drove
through the streets of Kokomo. So
much so in fact , that police became
suspicious and trailed the car. On
stopping the car for investigation, one
of the men escaped, but Sam Love
was placed under arrest charged with
carrying concealed weapons. When the
officers returned for the car it was
gone and all trace of the fugitive lost.
However, officers were notified to be
on the look- out and late Sunday night
officers entered the home of a rela-tive
of Day at Delphi to make the
arrest.
Day is said to have darted past of-ficers,
who gave pursuit and a deputy
sheriff fired at him as he fled from
the house. The bullet took effect and
Day fell, death being instantaneous.
The Day home at Logansport was
searched some time before this and
much supposed loot discovered. Paul
Caldwell of the local restaurant ac-companied
officers to the Day home
and identified a hunting coat stolen
from the local restaurant in the rob-bery
of a few weeks ago.
Love is still in the Kokomo jail
awaiting arrangement on a charge
of carrying concealed weapons. It is
very probable that other more serious
charges may be placed against him
as an accomplice of Day in the local
robbery. The action against Love
depends much on developments in the
case within the next few days.
Past Matrons Entertained

The Past Matrons Club was de-lightfully

1931 EMERALD NOW
BEING DISTRIBUTED
Senior Class Presents One of Best,
If Not the Best, Annuals in
Local School History.
CONTAINS ONE HUNDRED AND
TEN PAGES WITH COVER
Embracing Six Books or Departments
in Portraying Student Life in
The Local School.
The 1931 G. H. S. Emerald, the an-nual
year book of the local high
school published- 53r - L- Ke - nior Class,
is now off the press and being distrib-uted
to subscribers and others who
desire a copy. The book was complet-ed
last Friday and delivered to the
school Monday morning, and from re-ports
is receiving a ready sale. A
limited number is available and if you
have not subscribed for one and de-sire
to purchase one, notify any mem-ber
of the Senior class or Mr. Callis
at once.
It is only natural that each succeed-ing
class try to outdo the preceding
one in the publication of their annual,
it is also reasonable to point out that
such is the case, but this year the
hook is more deserving of this honor,
as it was published under the most
trying of conditions, and yet the high
standard has been maintained, with
possibly a standard for oncoming
classes to follow or duplicate. It is
freely being commented on as one of
the best, if not the best, ever publish-edin
the history of the local school.
The book consists of 98 pages of
editorial and literary work, with six
department division pages incased in
a shale Loadstone cover with silver
title lettering, and a modern fancy
book fly leaves and division pages.
The division pages are printed in a
design of blue ink which gives much
beauty to the book.
The first book is taken up by the
administration of the school and fol-lows
the title and dedicatory pages.
The dedication of the book was made
to 1Vliss Lavonne Carr, primary teach-er
of the local school for the past
several years under whom most of the
present graduating class began their
school life. The dedication appears
under a large picture of Miss Carr.
The second book consists of classes,
the senior, junior, sophomore, fresh-man,
eighth grade and seventh grade
in order. Activities follows this book
with the staff picture, glee clubs and
orchestras, with accounts of parties,
receptions, etc. Athletics follow this.
This book is probably the most com-plete
athletic section ever published
in an Emerald, giving complete scor-ing
of the teams during the year, a
tabulated table of former basketball
years, and a page devoted to Coach
King, and other athletic events. The
complete with poems and stories by
the pupils, all of a high order. The
Almanac and Advertising section ' fol-lows,
bringing the book to a close.
Volume No. 12 of the Emerald con-tains
pictures of the Advisory Board,
trustee, Miss Carr, Mr. Collis, the
faculty in panels, the seniors in pan-els,
the junior class, the sophomore
class, the freshman class, the eighth
grade and the seventh grade; the staff,
the girls glee club, the boys glee club,
the senior orchestra, the junior or-chestra,
coach King, individuals of
the ten basketball players, the second
team, the Junior high team, the base-ball
team, the play picture, and snap-shots
for the various classes.
The book was produced by the Gem
Printing Company, with the press
work from the Acme Press of Koko-mo.
It is a fine piece of the printers
art, molded together according to the
ideas of the Emerald Staff, and we be-lieve
the work a credit to the staff and

Another Local Boy Making
Good in Business World
Greentown is proud of her young
men who make good, either at home
or in foreign fields. The latest among
these young men brought to our notice
is Merville " Fat" Larowe, who is ad-vancing
step by step in the immense
Snyder Packing Company organiza-tion.
Mr. Larowe was recently ap-pointed
superintendent of the Snyder
plant at Medina, New York, fifty
miles from Niagara Falls, which is
one of the larger Snyder plants, can-ning
peas, tomatoes, cherries and
beans. Mr. Larowe moved his family
from Marion to that place yesterday.
Mr. Larowe began working for the
company at Marion a few years ago
as shipping clerk, and was later plac-ed
in the assistant superintendent's
position, and last summer took charge
of a large plant near Medina where
much labor trouble was being encourt-ered.
He smoothed out the trouble
and returned to his position in the
Marion plant. Of course his appoint-ment
comes as a very gratifying piece
of news to his host of friends here,
who join in wishing him success.
" Merv" or " Fat" as he is known
generally here, will be remembered as
the star center of the great Legion
basketball teani of a few years ago,
and also a star high school center.
He taught school for a few years be-fore
associating himself with the Sny-der
interests and has made good from
the very start.
" Hey Rue" ata time. Mark up two
points for " Fat."
Mrs. John Hall and William Greg-son

LOCAL ROBBERY
BELIEVED SOLVED
Shooting Of Orien Day, age 57, at
Delphi By Officers Late Sun-day
Night.
SOME OF LOCAL GOODS IDENT-IFIED
AT LOGANSPORT HOME
Sam Love, Local Young Man Also
Involved in Affair— Booze Cause
tf Arrest.
The robbery of the Curren Groc-ery
and the State Highway ea,
some teva wee. ago, was believ& I- Ci
have been solved the first of the week
following the shooting of Orion
Day of Logansport, at Delphi late
Sunday while trying to escape
from the officers.
Day is supposed to have been the
companion of Sam Love, a local young
man who has spent the past several
years in traveling from place to place,
when the couple were stopped by Ko-komo
police for investigation last Fri-day.
It is said the couple had been
drinking and were attracting much
attention to themselves as they drove
through the streets of Kokomo. So
much so in fact , that police became
suspicious and trailed the car. On
stopping the car for investigation, one
of the men escaped, but Sam Love
was placed under arrest charged with
carrying concealed weapons. When the
officers returned for the car it was
gone and all trace of the fugitive lost.
However, officers were notified to be
on the look- out and late Sunday night
officers entered the home of a rela-tive
of Day at Delphi to make the
arrest.
Day is said to have darted past of-ficers,
who gave pursuit and a deputy
sheriff fired at him as he fled from
the house. The bullet took effect and
Day fell, death being instantaneous.
The Day home at Logansport was
searched some time before this and
much supposed loot discovered. Paul
Caldwell of the local restaurant ac-companied
officers to the Day home
and identified a hunting coat stolen
from the local restaurant in the rob-bery
of a few weeks ago.
Love is still in the Kokomo jail
awaiting arrangement on a charge
of carrying concealed weapons. It is
very probable that other more serious
charges may be placed against him
as an accomplice of Day in the local
robbery. The action against Love
depends much on developments in the
case within the next few days.
Past Matrons Entertained

1931 EMERALD NOW
BEING DISTRIBUTED
Senior Class Presents One of Best,
If Not the Best, Annuals in
Local School History.
CONTAINS ONE HUNDRED AND
TEN PAGES WITH COVER
Embracing Six Books or Departments
in Portraying Student Life in
The Local School.
The 1931 G. H. S. Emerald, the an-nual
year book of the local high
school published- 53r - L- Ke - nior Class,
is now off the press and being distrib-uted
to subscribers and others who
desire a copy. The book was complet-ed
last Friday and delivered to the
school Monday morning, and from re-ports
is receiving a ready sale. A
limited number is available and if you
have not subscribed for one and de-sire
to purchase one, notify any mem-ber
of the Senior class or Mr. Callis
at once.
It is only natural that each succeed-ing
class try to outdo the preceding
one in the publication of their annual,
it is also reasonable to point out that
such is the case, but this year the
hook is more deserving of this honor,
as it was published under the most
trying of conditions, and yet the high
standard has been maintained, with
possibly a standard for oncoming
classes to follow or duplicate. It is
freely being commented on as one of
the best, if not the best, ever publish-edin
the history of the local school.
The book consists of 98 pages of
editorial and literary work, with six
department division pages incased in
a shale Loadstone cover with silver
title lettering, and a modern fancy
book fly leaves and division pages.
The division pages are printed in a
design of blue ink which gives much
beauty to the book.
The first book is taken up by the
administration of the school and fol-lows
the title and dedicatory pages.
The dedication of the book was made
to 1Vliss Lavonne Carr, primary teach-er
of the local school for the past
several years under whom most of the
present graduating class began their
school life. The dedication appears
under a large picture of Miss Carr.
The second book consists of classes,
the senior, junior, sophomore, fresh-man,
eighth grade and seventh grade
in order. Activities follows this book
with the staff picture, glee clubs and
orchestras, with accounts of parties,
receptions, etc. Athletics follow this.
This book is probably the most com-plete
athletic section ever published
in an Emerald, giving complete scor-ing
of the teams during the year, a
tabulated table of former basketball
years, and a page devoted to Coach
King, and other athletic events. The
complete with poems and stories by
the pupils, all of a high order. The
Almanac and Advertising section ' fol-lows,
bringing the book to a close.
Volume No. 12 of the Emerald con-tains
pictures of the Advisory Board,
trustee, Miss Carr, Mr. Collis, the
faculty in panels, the seniors in pan-els,
the junior class, the sophomore
class, the freshman class, the eighth
grade and the seventh grade; the staff,
the girls glee club, the boys glee club,
the senior orchestra, the junior or-chestra,
coach King, individuals of
the ten basketball players, the second
team, the Junior high team, the base-ball
team, the play picture, and snap-shots
for the various classes.
The book was produced by the Gem
Printing Company, with the press
work from the Acme Press of Koko-mo.
It is a fine piece of the printers
art, molded together according to the
ideas of the Emerald Staff, and we be-lieve
the work a credit to the staff and

Another Local Boy Making
Good in Business World
Greentown is proud of her young
men who make good, either at home
or in foreign fields. The latest among
these young men brought to our notice
is Merville " Fat" Larowe, who is ad-vancing
step by step in the immense
Snyder Packing Company organiza-tion.
Mr. Larowe was recently ap-pointed
superintendent of the Snyder
plant at Medina, New York, fifty
miles from Niagara Falls, which is
one of the larger Snyder plants, can-ning
peas, tomatoes, cherries and
beans. Mr. Larowe moved his family
from Marion to that place yesterday.
Mr. Larowe began working for the
company at Marion a few years ago
as shipping clerk, and was later plac-ed
in the assistant superintendent's
position, and last summer took charge
of a large plant near Medina where
much labor trouble was being encourt-ered.
He smoothed out the trouble
and returned to his position in the
Marion plant. Of course his appoint-ment
comes as a very gratifying piece
of news to his host of friends here,
who join in wishing him success.
" Merv" or " Fat" as he is known
generally here, will be remembered as
the star center of the great Legion
basketball teani of a few years ago,
and also a star high school center.
He taught school for a few years be-fore
associating himself with the Sny-der
interests and has made good from
the very start.
" Hey Rue" ata time. Mark up two
points for " Fat."
Mrs. John Hall and William Greg-son
